Just saw this thread today... Heres some of my Photography. comments and critiques always welcome.

Check out my Flickr account to see the rest if you want.

Aye, great T/S. Real or Photoshop?

Here's the first snow shot I've taken that I like. The fact I took it in April makes it slightly surprising. Shot information available in my blog.

Thanks man, Its Photoshop though. I don't have the money for a T/S lens haha.

I tried to post these yesterday but apparently it didnt work. Anyway, we went to a local marina less than 5 minutes from my house, and I started walking around. I wanted to shoot more but we had to leave. I will probably go back this weekend.

Finally got around to making a website: http://www.infinusphoto.com

I used pixelpost with the delicious template

Here are four shots from myself:

Pics from tonight...

Aaand, not the best editing ever, but they love it so whatever

I really like the first one.

I finally finished my website. Check it out if you have some free time. Ignore the bad about section, I just whipped it up because it's a requirement of me for school.

Thank you my friend.

Your site looks really good. The only thing I don't like is that all the text are actually images. I don't really know why, but that bugs the hell out of me. Probably because I can't highlight the text if needed.

 

[tait]

Thanks. Very true, but I couldn't get the colorways and fonts I wanted to use. What would you highlight though? hah.

Damn it my Internet seems to be broken on my main Pc, so I can't post all my hong kong photos yet... I got two new lenses there too, Sigma 18-50 ex hsm macro f/2.8 and the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, both are awesome lenses.

Some very nice shots on there. 👍 You're very arty.

Now that my Internet is back to full speed, I can upload a photo I took a while ago.

I'm proud of it, as it's reasonably (I think quite clean) and was taken in low light, albeit with a flash.

I used my new tripod to hold the camera steady. I've included a very poor photo of my tripod so you can see what it looks like. Should help me get some better shots though. 👍

If you're interested, I pulled these beauties out of the car I just bought...

 

[F1GTR]

Okay my internet finally works, so here goes:

HK Panorama, not from the harbour but from the view from my hotel room.

Macau:

Disneyland (The sky really sucked, tons of fog/pollution):

Chicken Wings at McD's (which tasted very good I might add):

Ocean Park:

And the reason I was in HK in the first place; my aunt's wedding:

This set is an abridged version, I've still got about 900 photos to go through for my family.

We like to go shooting out in the desert. Overkill? maybe. Fun? Hell yeah!

.50 Armor-Piercing-Incendiary round

[Vonie]

That is weird as hell.

Okay my internet finally works, so here goes:

Cool photos. You were here last week? You were really unlucky with the terrible weather other than Saturday and Sunday which was great. What did you think of Hong Kong?

Is that the M107?

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

Is that the M107?

Yes it is


some old shots I went through and redid.

 

[exigeracer]

I've gotta get PS for that dodge/burn. Third one works best, but don't overuse the effect though

I didn't use ps, just lightroom.

 

[exigeracer]

Regardless, I've got nothing (yet).

you can download the lightroom 2.0 beta for free =)

 

[exigeracer]

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa that was complicated. Somebody overthought the 80/20 rule with that program! Expires in 29 days, that supposed to happen?

What did you use to get your effect? There is a Lightroom preset that comes close, but it also really messes with some of the other levels and burns out some values. I did poke around though:

Gonna look into it a little more tomorrow, but I may just wait until I get my CS3 bundle in a bit.

 

[ferrari_chris]

Yes it is

...

I don't want to drag this thread off-topic, but:

ZOMG!@ Did you fire it? What's it like? Did you try to shoot through steel plates with it?...

 

[Thiele]

Wow! This thread brings back memories of the good GTP days. I haven't taken anything lately though.

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

Yeah we all got to fire it a few times at steel plates, a metal shed, and we even had bottles of tannerite we would put under object and when we shot them it would explode send the objects flying high into the air

yes it expires its just a beta test, the full program costs money, less than photoshop though.

to get that effect crank recovery, fill light and clarity to 100, blacks I put at 51 contrast 73 saturation -70 vibrance +40 vignet amount -100, midpoint 50

that was the basics, just tweak from there =)

 

[Burnout]

Man, some of you guys are so good. I wish I hadn't stopped taking pictures. I really need to get started again.

Been out in the garden with the Macro lens. This one handheld. Shot information in the gallery as usual.
